Frances May Ewart

Vegreville, AB. She had 3 children (Rick/Linda), (Tony, Christie) and

(Colette/Jim) with her 1st husband Paul Jullion (deceased). She married

Alan Ewart (deceased) in 1971 and added 6 beloved step children to her

family (Dan/Kari), (Neil/Lynne), (Judy), (Jean/Ted), (Leta/Ken), and

(Charles/Marina). A total of 16 grandchildren brought joy to her life followed

by no less than 23 great grandchildren (forgive me if my count is off - they

are still coming). Her greatest pleasure was having family come to visit and

we always felt loved and cared for in her presence.

Mom was predeceased by her parents Roy and Mabel Wilson, her brothers

Cliff, Jim, and Lloyd, and her grandson AJ Babb. She is also survived by

her sisters Gladys, Hazel, Elizabeth, Doris and Terry.

Fran was an accomplished seamstress who used her skills to clothe her

family as well as to make costumes for the figure skating club and school

functions for many years. She made wedding dresses, grad dresses, and

had a fabulous closet filled with her own handiwork. In her retirement she

took up painting and we all have beautiful watercolour and acrylic paintings

from her hand. She knitted (love those washcloths) and crocheted, canned

and baked, and always had a welcoming house and home. Her

accomplishments may sound old fashioned but her heart was pure and

strong and the warmth she shared with us all was powerful and lasting so I

guess we could all use a little “old-fashioned” touch i n our busy lives.

Mom - may you rest in peace.
